Designed by Frédéric Périgot for Rossignol, the French manufacturer of ski and snowboard equipment, the Frisbee Trash Bin is a sleek column of color for the kitchen.

An industrial designer, Périgot started his eponymous brand in 1995 and has been reinventing a catalog of utilitarian products ever since. When collaborating with Rossignol on the bin, Périgot chose to work with epoxy metal. "I didn't want to design just another trash bin. This one is shaped like the body of an aircraft, with a perfect finish. It's ultra-flat lid resembles a Frisbee, and when you close it, it sounds like the door of a sedan," he says. The robust design is likely to withstand the test of time—a good thing since the price tag ensures that the trash can is a life-long investment.
